Fuerteventura, Spain - A Place in the Sun

Fuerteventura, Spain, Lucy Alexander

Sarah is looking for a holiday home in Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands with the help of her son Henry. Lucy Alexander is tasked with finding her the perfect place for a budget of £230,000. She has five great properties to show them but will any of them be the one? 

About the area

Even though Fuerteventura is the second largest of all the Canary Islands in terms of size, it’s actually the smallest in terms of population, so there’s loads of space to enjoy more than 150 beaches and stunning volcanic scenery. The main tourist town in the north of the island is Corralejo, and there are plenty of other pretty but less lively places to stay and soak in the more than 3,000 hours of sunshine Fuerteventura averages each year .
